A Japanese X and + block for the Bee

Our August Queen Bee is Sue {blogless Sue, I think} and yesterday morning her fabric and instructions landed *thud* on my doorstep.

She wanted a Japanese X and + block. One which was very scrappy and slightly larger than the one in this tutorial.

I loved making these blocks and I am loving being in a Bee, much more than I could have imagined. It's great getting other people's fabric to play with and even better to be given a block to make that I probably wouldn't have ordinarily made.

The lighting sucks in these pics but these babies look fab in real life.

I might just have to make me some of these as placemats. I am desperate for a table runner and placemats for our kitchen farmhouse table. I keep making them but they always seem to be perfect pressie fodder, so out off they go to new homes and my table is still bare.

Hi Liz, Popped in to say hello and thanks for following me. I totally enjoy meeting new people and readying their inspiring blogs. I am your newest follower! I love these blocks and your Union Jack pillow is too cute!See ya! ~Amy~ :)
